Well at least I know it's not just me that thinks this is a major flaw
in Squeezebox's UI :)

For all those that say I should learn how to use the Squeezebox
properly, go through 20 keypresses to save the playlist everytime a
track gets added (not simple to get to, is it?), teach my guests or
family to do the same (err, see ya!), give them a course in Unix
command shell syntax, or stick rigidly to a dictatorially controlled
pre-prepared playlist (no thanks, we like to go with the flow), I say,
get real!

This isn't something intended for geeks, even if it does have gadget
appeal. The Squeezebox is designed to be used on a DOMESTIC
environment, with high WAF and simple UI and navigation that ANYONE can
use. As such it _should_ be idiot and fumble proof. Not something that
trashes a whole night's music, simply from somebody inadvertently
pressing the highly prominent Play button. 

If that's the extent of Squeezebox/Slimserver's "intelligence", I might
as well save a few hundred quid and just have the laptop running Windows
Media Player or iTunes. 

As for the use of the expression "TF", in this case I think it is
justified. I'm simply repeating the words on everybody's lips every
time the stupid machine lets this happen. ;)
